SwedeShop–Unofficial IKEA Shopping List
Once you move, you’ll need to furnish your apartment. The go-to place is IKEA. With this app, you can keep track of aisle number, bin number, product name, color and price. The best part is that you can set a budget (including local tax) and keep track of how much you’re spending before you even hit the check out line.
IKEA Catalogue 2010 UK
I realize this is a UK app, but if anything it’s great for some inspiration. You can view over 375 pages of IKEA-y goodness. Flick through the pages or browse through thumbnails. Unfortunately, you’ll need to be connected to wifi and it doesn’t have a store locator or bookmark feature. Boo-urns.
